ABB, Nobel Media announce international partnership to engage people in innovation, science

Technology firm ABB and Nobel Media today announced an international partnership for the development of innovation, education and scientific research. The partnership aims to share knowledge broadly, inspire people to engage in science and shed light on the greatest challenges of the present era, said an ABB statement. 
 
ABB slated to bring deep scientific and innovation experience and commitment into the partnership. Nobel Media, an entity within the Nobel Foundation, is extending the reach of the Nobel Prize to millions of people around the world through inspirational events, digital media and special exhibitions and activities related to the legacy of Alfred Nobel and the achievements of the Nobel Laureates.
 
Through these activities and events, including global Nobel Prize Dialogue gatherings, Nobel Media both reaches and engages students, decision makers and a general public around the world.
 
On the occasion, ABB CEO Ulrich Spiesshofer said, “Nobel and ABB share a deep commitment to innovation and the power of ideas, and we are inspired by this opportunity to spotlight the groundbreaking work of Nobel Laureates, to celebrate science and discovery and to inspire the next generation of extraordinary pioneers."
 
Chief Executive Officer of Nobel Media, Mattias Fyrenius, said, “The Nobel Prize stands for the power of ideas and the making of a better world through knowledge and science. Committing to these values is more important than ever, a responsibility we share with ABB.”
 
Nobel Media’s events and activation include conferences, lectures and exhibitions globally as well as engaging content through broad-reaching digital channels.
 
The next Nobel Prize Dialogue – which brings together Nobel Laureates, world-leading scientists, policy makers and thought leaders from around the world – will be held in Santiago, Chile in mid-January 2019.
